Sony LMD-B170 17" Full HD LCD Monitor

The LMD-B170 17" Full HD LCD Monitor from Sony is a lightweight and compact Full HD monitor with similar weight and power consumption as Sony`s previous 15" models. The LMD-B Series offers the same user interface as the PVM-A Series OLED and LMD-A Series Premium LCD monitors. This consistency between the PVM-A, LMDA, and LMD-B Series makes it easy for users to work with all three monitors and integrate them into the same work environment.

The LMD-B170 monitor can be used for a wide range of professional applications including DC operation and wall mounting. It offers an SDI and HDMI sync-free side-by-side configuration that allows HD and SD signals to be displayed side by side. In addition, the LMD-B170 includes a natural ventilation system so there is no audio disruption from an internal cooling fan, making the monitor suitable for video shooting and critical audio operations. Power is supplied via a 4-pin XLR or by the included AC power cord.

17" Screen and Full HD Resolution

The 17" screen is suitable for a wide variety of applications like desktop use, wall or arm mounting, or exterior shooting.

Lightweight and Slim Body

The LMD-B170 has a robust and stylish sharp-edge chassis. Lighter weight and lower power consumption saves you space and weight in digital galleries. This makes the monitor suitable for standalone applications such as basic non-linear editing, audio control room, simple video monitoring, or video shooting. It also makes the monitor easy to carry.

All-in-One Design with Front Stereo Speakers and Natural Ventilation System

The LMD-B170 has the essential interfaces such as SDI, HDMI, and composite video with stereo analog audio. You can monitor the embedded audio signals of an SDI signal on the screen`s audio level meters. Two 2W+2W front stereo speakers are more powerful than a monaural speaker or a rear speaker system. They provide you with a good stereophonic effect. The monitor can be powered by AC as well as DC. The supplied stand has a tilt function and a 100 x 100mm wall mounting function which means you can install it more flexibly.

Various Functions

The LMD-B170 offers various functions including markers, WFM/vector, audio level meters, timecode display, camera focus function, side-by-side, flip H/V, and on-screen tally. The user-reset function makes it easy to return the monitor to the default settings very quickly. This is useful if a user is not familiar with the monitor settings. LMD-B170 can be also operated in one of seven languages (Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish).

Optimized Low-Latency I/P Conversion

The I/P conversion system delivers automatically optimized signal processing according to input signals with low latency (less than 0.5 field). This system helps users edit and monitor for a live production.

Video Input Versatility

The LMD-B170 monitor is equipped with built-in standard input interfaces including two HD/SD-SDI, one HDMI (HDCP), and one composite input.

Computer Input Versatility

Multiple computer signals can be received via an HDMI/DVI interface. The resolution range is from 640 x 480 to 1680 x 1050.

Waveform Monitor, Vectorscope, and Audio Level Meter Display

An input signal`s waveform and vectorscope, with an SDI-embedded 2-channel audio level meter, can be displayed on the screen. The waveform of a specified line can also be displayed. In conjunction with the picture-and-picture function, the waveform monitor and vectorscope display can monitor two camera signals. In addition, an audio level meter can display the embedded audio signal from the SDI or HDMI input. It can display on screen channels 1 to 8 or 9 to 16.

User-Friendly Operability and User Interface

The monitor has an intuitive and appropriate user interface for video production. You can easily choose an input and a function by a single click. The rotary encoder knob allows for easy selection and entering of an item. The lighted control panel has good readability in the dark. This user interface, including the OSD menu layout, is carefully designed for time-critical operations as either a single unit or multiple units in one system.

User Reset, Key Inhibit, and User Shortcut to Function Key Configuration

When multiple users share the same monitor, you need to reset it in a quick operation. User reset function quickly returns the unit to the default settings. Key inhibit protects the required settings from any inadvertent operations. For improving speed of the function key configuration, the user can take a shortcut to the settings menu screen by simply holding down one of the Function keys.

Camera Focus Function

The LMD-B170 monitor can control the aperture level of a video signal, and display images on the screen with sharpened edges to help camera focus operation. Furthermore, the sharpened edges can be displayed in user-selectable colors (white, red, green, blue, and yellow) for more precise focusing.

Timecode Function

LTC and VITC timecode can be displayed at the top or bottom of the picture.

Side-by-Side Function

The side-by-side function of the LMD-B170 allows the simultaneous display of two input signals on the monitor`s screen. This function helps with color adjustment and setting of camera frames. Signals with different resolutions, different frame rates, interlace, PsF, and progressive pictures can all be displayed by the monitor.

On-Screen Tally

The monitor is also equipped with a three-color (red, green, and yellow) on-screen tally function. The position of the tally display can be changed to either the upper or lower section of the screen.

Flip Functions

The Flip function turns the reversed image to a normal view, horizontally, or vertically.

DC Low Power Indicator

DC power supply is available in the range of 12 to 17V. The power indicator blinks when the DC power supply is low.

Wall Mount Capability

The monitor features 100mm wall mount pitch holes on the rear panel. A built-in AC circuit allows you to install the monitor more easily and flexibly than a monitor with an AC adapter.
